    To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:

    • r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.

    • We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.

    • Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.

    • Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.

    • Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore

    • Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)

    This information is on every post. Accounts that disregard it will be perma-banned. "I didn't get a warning" or "I didnt know" are not valid appeals. If in doubt, please read the full version of the rules

    Modi’s party is categorized by some scholars as an ultra nationalist (or even fascist) Hindu party. They’re extremist.

    Kinda yes.

    First things first BJP came in power by playing poverty card, not religious card as people think, they after coming to power switched their political agenda.

    Indian voters are roughly in 3 factions:

    1. Hindu extremists, which were always present but post 2014, they saw a massive increase in both their numbers and audacity.

    2. BJP Haters, it's obvious why

    3. Centrists, they hate BJP but still vote cause in their mind, India has no alternative.

    Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India. His daughter Indira Gandhi became 3rd pm of India Her son Rajeev Gandhi also was PM of India Now his son Rahul Gandhi is the leader of opposition against Modi.

    The problem is, he has not participated in any position before he directly jumped for PM position, this pseudo monarchy is pissing Indians off, that's why India was a very weak opposition currently.

    I really don't think so.

    Hindu extremism is mostly a regional thing that happens almost entirely in India. And Hindus rarely ever export extremism to other countries. There aren't any Hindu terrorist organizations planning terror attacks around the world.

    Islamic extremism, on the other hand, is a global phenomenon that happens on every single continent. That's the main difference.
